A GREAT loss in many farms is oc-
easioned from the fact that the fields
are not uniformly fertile In all ts<eir
parts. IL they are naturally the same
kind of soil the evening-up process will
be comparatively easy. Sometimes the
defect will be found in a depression
where stagnant water remains. Here
Undertaking will make the waste
place at least as good as the balance of
the field, and probably somewhat BET ger
In such places underdrains will often
pay for themselves in d single crop. for
when they are made they enable the
entire field to be plowed and the crop
10 be got In earlier and In better condI-
lou.

RENEWING FRUIT PLANTATIOSS-
After a regulations has been made
on the strength Of superior berries we
cannot keep up this acquisition unless
uroper and timely precautions are taken
toward that end. Early and frequent
renewing; with good culture while a
patch is new, 50 as to force it to do all
that Is possible, is the surest key to
success that / know of, and an in6alli-
ble remedy for lax custom. A broken
down fruit garden yields but poor Iruit,
and the demand for such Is equally as
Door. old and feeble plantation always
give way TO the young and vigorous
ones. which comes on with their loads
of large and perfect fruit, tempting
the buyer beyond resistance. Or course,
the cost and labor of growing fruit In
this Way is very much increased over
the usual method, but the profits are
increased amazingly and in full propor-
ito 1, and will always be found a sure
and pleasing result, able and willing to
tip the balance the right way-into the
growers pocket. The first indication
of weakening is the time for action;
don't depend on that patch any more,
but as soon as possible prepare to plant
new one to take its place. You can
well remember how good and plentiful
your crops of berries were when the
fields were new, when the roots were
in full working power, pushing heavy
growth OF plant with corresponding
fruit. The cause was in the new and
vigorous plants, and not In the soil, as
many suppose, because l have planted
new plants on the same ground, no
manure being used, and they gave the
usual crops OF new plants. The roots
of the strawberry and blackcap rass,-
berry never go very deep, not having as
much penetrating power as the roots of
blackberries or red raspberries, conse
quently are shorter lived, and need
renewing sooner.

a GREAT mistake is often commit
led in growing roots, in the ambition
)f obtaining such as are OF large size,
and getting al extra quantity per acre.
We ought rather to strive for those of
medium size, and of the best quality
for one bushel of these may contain
more nutriment than two, or even three
bushels of over grown specimens; and =,
furthermore, greatly lessen the labor
of digging, storing, and feeding. We
have seen roots so large as to be little
better than wooden. Animals would
not eat them unless excessively hungry
and when they did so, they were more
or less indigestible, and afforded little
lutriment.
